      This so much, I’m tired of shonen and kawai nonsense, most of the mainstream Anime plots and characters are generic, and I’m too old to related to 14 year old protagonists, I’ll take something like Arcane over another Anime any day

      A few recommendations with that in mind (Boy does that one restriction really just nuke the list! Common Japan!):

      1. Spice and Wolf (2008 series, I have no clue if the 2024 series is good)

      2. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

      3. Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

      4. Gate: And Thus the JSDF Fought There

      5. Crest of the Stars

      (Roughly in that order, too)
